Cool Concept Cars by the Amateurs

It's really fascinating to look at high tech vehicles running down the city streets. However, these are far behind the cars that I see on movies that's why I feel like I just can't have enough of them. Then I was browsing through the internet when I found these pictures of some of the concept cars that are made by a few of our talented amateurs. And I realized how high tech the world would seem if these would be the ones that would be running down the roads. Here are some of them:


This was the first concept car that I saw while I was surfing the net. It's made by Mihai Panaitescu, a twenty-year-old Romanian design student who won in the Peugeot Design Contest 2007. Mihai calls this "Flux." This is because it is inspired by the rapid changes that happen on our daily lives. If you have observed, this reflects the gaming world so much. That's because Mihai is a big gamer, himself. He made a real nice integration with his imaginative concept and Xbox 360 resulting to an advanced design of sports car.

At the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show, this concept car was revealed to the public as a full-size model and is labeled as Peugeot Flux. It's a 3.5 x 1.65 meter car that is powered by a rear-mounted hydrogen fueled engine. Its body is made of plastic materials, the seats are made of polyurethane, and for the chassis and other mechanical parts, aluminum was used. Moreover, this concept car was also featured in the Xbox driving game.

Here's another one, it's got no name though. This is among the masterpieces of Matus Prochaczka, a Slovakian who loves to make challenging 3D designs. As a matter of fact he has won two Interiormotivesdesign awards for two years. He stresses on making cutting-edge designs yet reachable enough for the people at present.

"First of all, I dream and wonder about new idea of moving of humans. Not average, something smart, special and combined with very new shapes...but not unreachable future. And in magnetic power I have seen big possibilities, because they are used very few and they afford power with zero input." - said Matus on an interview.

Other than this, he's also got a lot other designs that has made given him enough reputation in the field of concept cars.

So, aren't those two concept cars so cool? I say both these two gets two thumbs up on me. They both look real great. But for now, maybe I'll just be looking forward to seeing such vehciles on the roads.
